Rollin-Rolla Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 ive got a recaro bucket seat to install into my ke70, wondering if anyone else has done a similar install into a ke70? how did you go about a seat rail? from what ive found AE86 seat rails are slightly to wide, by about 20mm. if someone has done a bucket seat into a ke70 please provide some info for me, as i want to know the easiest way to go about it. going with a universal rail will be a bit gay but will do it if required. just wondering if anyone has modded the AE86 seat rail? info on this would be really great.

Raven Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Make up a frame to bolt the seat to that the rails can also bolt to. :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rola Drifter Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 hey mate i fitted an autotechnica monza reclinable racing seat into my ae71 by taking the seat rails off of my ke70 drivers seat n put a couple of washers between the rail n the base of the seat on all 4 corners and it bolted straight in to where it should line up to in the car....also just get a tape measure and measure the distance between all the holes on the base of both seats to see if it could line up for u.....hope that helps out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollin-Rolla Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 its all good, i went to u pull it today and got the rails no cutting required unless you use the ae71 style seats where the sliding lever is at the front. then cutting is needed but if you use the side style slider then they unbold easy. just for future reference if someone comes across the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
